This article has a talk page!This is a sub-page of Development:SpongeBob SquarePants: SuperSponge (PlayStation).
These prototypes were never compiled, but their source code can be found in the Visual SourceSafe archive on GitHub. They date back to as far as August 29th, 2000. The archive isn't exactly complete, as the developers destroyed various files in Visual SourceSafe. This makes said files impossible to recover, thus rendering several prototypes impossible to build the way they might've been.

Sound Effects#
data/Sfx/ingame/ingame.xm contains strange sound effects sampled from various sources.

strain 1 and 2
Two high pitched strain sound effects from an unknown source.
attack8

Music#
Looking at the code, some music is referenced with names not seen within the final source. Unfortunately, the files were removed from history, but we do know what they were named. Those music names being:
- HYPERMMX
- DROPPOP
- MUSIC
- TITLE
- INGAME
Most references to these files were removed by a January 9, 2001 commit, where some final music was added.
